To enhance the eompany's sol-also allows easier and more vent management system, Akzo accurate solvent stock control, Nobel Inks has installed four as all solvents are bulk ordered FMC integrated batch eontrol-in kilograms. lets and flowmeters from Flux All of the Flux metering Pumps. The four Flux units, heads, input keypads and LCD manufactured from stainless displays are rated Explosion steel, control the input of sol-Proof and, due to the highly vents on four independent ink flammable nature of the solvents, production lines. The solvents all interfaces are located in a safe include n-Butyl acetate, methyl area. Using the latest technology, ethyl ketone, Toluene and n-the batch controllers regulate Propyl acetate, the flow from air-operated dia-Aecuracy is vital in maintain-phragm pumps and overcome ing colour consistency and the the problems traditionally assoviscosity of the inks.
